The aftermarket shocks for 63 made in Brazil, could not find a trace to get new. Instead, i fabricated new bolt on upper mounts(posted, see in DIY section). It allowed me many more options at affordeable price in respect to replacement shocks. Otherwise I'd be chasing around everytime the same...

If you need shocks the manufacturers have catalog with specs. Instead of shopping for your car, you find the shock by specs. Tech support is available for questions. The air shocks were option for my 63 skylark for towing a load. I just fitted heavy duty gas shocks from a full size Pontiac. Of...

Problem solved. There is three on inside of cabin, one in trunk. Total of four to remove. The pair of chrome I saw online must be different market or production only have three to retain. Got me!

Sail panel chrome trim holding on curve. I have removed three retainers on each side. But neither side is fully releasing. It's loose on both ends, in the rear middle it's holding. I saw image of a set and nothing is there to hold in the middle. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

If it is single wire, it will ground to the location it goes to. The circuit is completed once it's relocated to proper place. The workshop manual is 1st place to look.

Try browsing e...y. I'm sure they have some used not working going for several hundred$("the tariffs") you can compare.

it needs considerable work. Probably not for inexperienced. Someone with knowledge to complete project otherwise will continue to decay in someone's yard.

The later made cars have a 5mph bumper. If u remove the bumper car on your wife's vehicle you can see that it is a bumper with two shocks. (You can search part images too) If you wanted to explore incorporating something to your car, in a 5mph collision you wouldn't get bumpers pushed in again...

suspect it was a Made In China center link, reason is wrong dimensions. Some of the vehicles that had the option would be thicker swaybar for Police Car equipped. Buick members are low attendance on forums, so if any had your problem least likely to post.

A bit difficult to follow. Anyways, if the wiper is on all the time, disconnect switch see if it turns off. Problem may be switch has failed internally. Workshop manual is essential. Look for it in our library otherwise get one.

Windshields, bull bars, bumpers take 2 people to install with the right tools to handle the parts. Yet, some are too strong to accept this idea and go at it alone.

Bob, I do it very similar to you. Except I install DMM on Amperage setting, inline to power side of battery. Monitor the amperage, pull fuses one at a time if there is an amperage draw. Once the amperage drops that is the circuit of fault. In regard to storing car, you should have a cut off if...

I have two manuals of same print. One has engine, transmission oil and notes I've written in it. The other one doesn't.

Some of the gauges are cheap, they don't last long. The rope seals, upon absorbing oil will swell up to seal. So, oil seepage is normal. A shop with "parts changers" makes a lot of money passing their mistakes on to the consumer to pay on incorrect diagnosis.

Pinkerton makes glass for 60s but they stated it's thinner than OEM.

In the library, the manuals have pictures too.

Finding the parts you need is not a problem. Contact tech line for brand of lift support with length you need. Stabilus is one of many. You can look at a 4th gen VW, 1999.5 to 2004 to see the locations. They have struts under hood and hatch.

Some of the members have met at the vintage car shows. No racing, just relaxing meet and look at cars.

Does the engine block number match your registration?

Does your coil mounting funnel the coil to center even if you tried to put it in wrong? I would look at your witness marks and see if you could just smooth out coil rough edges on contact surfaces so that you keep suspension noises to a minimum. Metal to metal will make noise.
